Directions

1
Cut the baked fruit into cubes, pour wine over them and let them stand covered for about 1 hour. Cut white bread into cubes. Heat 2 tablespoons of clarified butter in a large frying pan and roast the bread cubes in it until golden brown. Heat milk, mix bread and milk well in a bowl. Drain the baked fruit and collect the wine. Wash the marjoram, dab dry and chop finely, except for something to garnish. Add the marjoram, fruit and almonds to the bread mixture and mix in. Season to taste with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Wash duck thoroughly inside and out, dab dry and rub inside with salt and pepper. Put the filling into the duck, pin it with a toothpick and tie it up. Tie legs and wings together with kitchen string. Place the duck on the fat pan of the oven. Peel 1 onion, cut it roughly into pieces and distribute around the duck. Roast in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for about 1 1/2 hours. Gradually pour the white wine over the duck. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of salt in 8 tablespoons of water. After approx. 1 hour, brush several times with it. Peel, wash and cut the potatoes into pieces. Cook in boiling salted water for about 20 minutes. Drain, let it evaporate and press it through a potato press while still hot. Let cool down. Clean and wash the sprouts. Add flour, eggs, 1 teaspoon salt and nutmeg to the mashed potatoes. Knead quickly with a mixing spoon to a smooth dough. If the dough is too moist, add some more flour. For the filling, chop the walnuts and pistachios coarsely. Wash parsley, dab dry and chop finely. Mix everything except 1 tablespoon of parsley. Shape the potato dough with floured hands into 8 dumplings, adding a little nut filling in the middle of each. Put the dumplings into a large pot of boiling salted water and let them simmer for about 20 minutes. Cook the Brussels sprouts in boiling salted water for about 20 minutes, drain and allow to drain. Remove the duck and cover with aluminium foil. Skim the fat from the roast with a spoon. Dissolve the gravy with 1/4 litre of water, pour through a sieve. Bring to the boil and add sauce thickener while stirring. Season with salt and pepper. Peel 1 onion, dice finely. Heat 1 tablespoon of clarified butter. Fry the onion until transparent. Swivel the Brussels sprouts in it, season with salt and pepper. Drain the dumplings and sprinkle with parsley. Arrange duck with vegetables on a plate. Garnish with marjoram and apple halves filled with cranberries. Add dumplings and sauce
